error_log_logger.class.php empty

I can't believe I am the only one having this problem but can't find anything on it:

I can't backup or restore, I get and error message telling me it cant access error_log_logger.class.php . When I look at the file system I see that file is empty. I go to the github repository and get the code that should be in that file and put it in. 

Backups and restore work beautifully. Then at some point (probably a cron routine) the file contents disappear again and we are back to square one. 

Whats going on here? This happens with two installations, one 3.3.2  and the other a pretty fresh virgin installation 3.4.1

Help!!

Hi Rob,

I don't know or understand why this file becomes empty on your installations, but it shouldn't.

In my opinion, it's not really a Moodle problem, but more a web server problem. For security purposes, Moodle directory (and subdirectories and files) should be read only.

You should look seriously at how are your installation handled, and what can lead to this problem (cli scripts, corruption...). Perhaps looking at the date/time of last modification could also help.
